GEORGE LUCAS CONTINUES TO INFURIATE FANS BY TINKERING WITH "STAR WARS"This may be a tempest-in-a-teapot, but Lucas has been re-editing key scenes in his iconic "Star Wars" movies. Many fans are outraged, likening this to sacrilege. While the Creative Master argument goes that films are never "complete", and continual tinkering just makes them better.

I think you're right: it's only marginally related in that it has something to do with scifi films. But not with any that are NEW or UPCOMING. (Would have made somewhat more sense in the "old films remade" thread.)

George Lucas will keep "Tinkering" with the "STAR WARS" Saga as long as there are people out there willing to shell-out hard-earned cash for the latest "Version". George has a 'CASH-COW" & Will be milking it forever!!Why work filming another movie? He has this and "Industrial Light Studios" and assorted enterprises that keep him making those trips to the bank to visit his money;Graciously given to him by rabid "Star War' fans.

Thanks for the comments. I don't understand this continual editing of 30 year old movies, either. Then again, authors can keep putting out "revised and updated" versions of their books, so maybe Lucas is just doing what authors already do.

I never understood the goofy Jar Jar Binks either. Maybe the character was just for contrast to the heroic calm-wisdom of the Jedi Knights. Or maybe Lucas just wanted the Jedi to be seen showing compassion for an idiot.

(Well, you can stop straining because they're unlikely to make another one anytime soon. There definitely won't be anything released in 2012, except another crap novel, but it won't have anything to do with Dune except for the name on the cover. The Paramount plans died in production hell after going through three or four directors. Pay attention.)

I'm exceedingly interested in the John Carter movie. I've been waiting for this since I was thirteen years old. I'll be just past forty-six when it hits the big screens.

And I'm worried. It may turn out to be a fine action-adventure sci-fantasy flick, but I'm starting to think that I'll be grateful to my ancestors sitting on the beaches of Korus if the movie is even half right as an adaptation.

I'm pretty sure the first pic is supposed to be Woola, and it's an improvement on the little model I saw a pic of last month. Still, he seems to be missing about four legs. Maybe it's the camera angle?

We'll see in March, I guess. I'll see it, of course. Then I'll come here, there, and everywhere else to say whether it's like LOTR... or LOTL.

That John Carter trailer is very tiny on my PC and won't expand out. If any of you have the same problem, use this link-> http://disney.go.com/johncarter/

Good effects, but I wish they wouldn't make up stupid lines that aren't in the books, like "You are ugly, but you are beautiful!" UGHHHH!!!!! Makes me tear my hair out.

And it would have been better if (Dejah?) said, "You are John Carter from the 3rd planet Jasoom?" since the Martians don't call it Earth. My way even if you haven't read the books you would get it and is more in character with the books.

Don't they have any real fans review these things??!! Where's Peter Jackson when you need him?

Still, it looks much better than that god awful one from a few years ago.
